If your head is still throbbing over the heart-in-a-blender losses by the Nuggets and Avs, don’t glance at the Broncos’ offensive weapons.
Denver Broncos first-round selection in the NFL football draft quarterback Bo Nix looks over a jersey after a news conference Friday, April 26, 2024, at the team’s headquarters in Centennial, Colo. Since the Broncos drafted him with the 12th pick in the first round, he has spoken to John Elway and Peyton Manning and hung out with Tom Brady and Jay-Z.
As the Broncos continue organized team activities this week, Nix looks like a quarterback straight out of central casting. He has the size, arm strength and ability to decipher information quickly, making him a good fit in Sean Payton’s offense. Payton is known as Will Hunting on the whiteboard. Brilliance is necessary to elevate the current pieces around the quarterback.
Assuming Sutton remains in the fold, he will be joined by Josh Reynolds. He is a No. 3, who could be cast as a No. 2. His career highs in catches , yards and touchdowns are modest, though he brings an edge in the run game. Marvin Mims Jr. features elite talent, but is unproven. With Jerry Jeudy gone, Payton has no more excuses for not playing the All-Pro returner. Mims had the Broncos’ only 100-yard receiving performance last season in Week 2 vs. Washington.
You see my point? Two things can be true. It’s possible to love the pick of Nix and wonder how all the ingredients will work.What should Nuggets take away from playoff collapse vs. Timberwolves? “It sucks because I think we’re the better team” Keeler: How Anthony Edwards, KAT flipped Game 7 script on Nuggets: “Once we lock in on the defensive side, we are a of a team to beat.”
